I thought I might not love this as much as I used to but I need not have worried. I loved it just as much as I did the first couple times.

I don't know. I wanted to like this book, but it felt kind of derivative. You have: (1) Names that evoke character traits (2) A magical world kept secret from the normal human world (3) A super evil villain bent on taking over the world just because he feels like it and (4) A kid caught in the middle who's got a special connection to the magic world.

Outside of that there are these facts: (1) Said special kid is not an orphan (2) Adult hero is a detective and (3) The story doesn't take itself all that seriously most of the time.

So I didn't love it, but I think I'm being overly critical, so I'll split the difference and say it was worth a read but there's no need to put it at the top of your list.

Oh, and I've heard that the audio is better than the book because of the Irish accents.
